Fishing Reports
The redfish in the shallows are really doing good. Catches of 10 to 28 slot-sized fish on each trip are making news. Remember, the new bag limit for Florida redfish started February 1st is 2 redfish per person per day, 8 per boat maximum, (so if there is 5 of you then you on board a boat you cannot keep over 8). No more closed season on spotted sea trout and the limit has been raised to 6 per person per day, same slot size as before. Reds in the shallows during the calm wind days are showing themselves everywhere.
